The complete piano part for "El Paso de la Bailarina," from the intro through every accompaniment section to the tumbao that carries the tune to its fade-out. The part itself isn't technically difficult — but the tumbao is one of the defining patterns of modern timba, established by Havana D'Primera.

What you'll practice:

  • Left-hand fills built directly into chord structures, in a non-traditional way
  • Chromatic movement and parallel motion between the two hands
  • A tumbao that helped define the modern timba sound
